Opening a Security/Users Subtab
Working in a Security/Users Subtab
The Users subtab of the Security tab displays the repository's set of registered AccuRev users A person who uses an AccuRev client program to access (read and/or change) the data in the AccuRev repository. Access is granted only to those who login with a "username" that was previously registered in the AccuRev repository. See login., and provides commands for maintaining the set of users. Various security (and non-security) features involve users:
Before executing any AccuRev commands, you must Login as a particular user.
Access Control List (ACL) entries can apply to particular users or to particular groups.
AccuWork issue records can contain fields whose value must be a particular AccuRev user.

Choose Admin > Security from the GUI main menu to display the Security tab. Then, click the Users subtab.
The Users subtab contains a table with these columns:
Status
(appears if Show hidden users is checked) Inactive indicates that the username has been removed, and can't be used in a Login command, or in the definition of an ACL A data structure that controls the rights of one or more users, or groups of users, to access the data within a particular depot or stream. entry or a lock A control on the ability to perform promote and include/exclude operations involving the stream.. A removed user can subsequently be reactivated.
Name
The username. You can change a username (for example, from derek to dpost) without disrupting AccuRev's bookkeeping, because it tracks user identities by their unique, immutable integer IDs.
A user cannot have the same name as any other user, or the same name as any group. See User-Specified Names for AccuRev Entities.
#
The integer that uniquely identifies this user. This number cannot be changed. [note ]
You can use this subtab to activate/deactivate users, and to perform operations that maintain the user registry.
Show hidden users
If checked, the table includes users that have been deactivated with the Remove command. This also adds a Status column.
Use the toolbar button to create a new AccuRev user identity.
Add User
Add a new user to the repository's user registry, optionally assigning a password to the user. In order to succeed, there must be at least one available user license.
You can choose any of the following commands from the context menu of a selected user:
Change User Name
Change the name that AccuRev associates with this user identity. See User-Specified Names for AccuRev Entities.
Change Password
Change this user's password. [note ] See User-Specified Names for AccuRev Entities.
Reactivate a user who has been deactivated with Remove User. In order to succeed, there must be at least one available user license.
Deactivate the selected user. No one can Login as that user, but the user still appears in the repository's historical records, such as the History Browser. You can use the Reactivate User command to bring back a removed user.
